This year 31 Garden Clubs, representing all of the districts in Pennsylvania, have received a total of $2,600. This will yield over $18,966 of beautification/education throughout our state, in addition to all of the volunteer hours. Believe it or not, in six years, GCFP has awarded a little over $20,000 for over 200 projects that has produced more than $170,000 of beautification in Pennsylvania, not including labor. We have made a DRAMATIC difference!
Thank you, GCFP!!!!!
